We hiked for nine and a half hours in the volcano. We expected to be out three hours, four at the most. Unbelieveably, there were only minor injuries and extreme exhaustion. The tenacity paid off. We saw the most amazing lava flow. It was something right out of a extreme show on the Discovery channel or National Geographic. Andy promised to do a guest update on it since he’s the pyromaniac and has more passion on the subject of fire. He also feels bad because I fell twice cutting up my ankles and palms. The scrapes look pretty tough. We camped in Kilaweaha Volocano park. After that hike, I could have slept in the middle of the freeway.
